So I am waaaaay late to this party and at the time of this review I am 3 seasons in (I started watching 2 days ago). Overall, if you are considering watching this show, definitely do it! Seasons 1 & 2 are freaking action and drama packed, 90 MPH! They will have you up till whatever time in the morning you can make it (3am for me) burning through them!! It’s sooo good on so many levels! The writing, directing, and cinematography is on another level!! Season 3 is different, different is definitely different, but as you move through it, it’s not bad. If seasons 1 & 2 are 90 MPH, then season 3 is more like 55-60 (65 at best) MPH. At first, after coming off of seasons 1&2 , this was mildly irritating, but as I continued to watch, I grew to appreciate the character development! All the characters grew/changed/evolved for the better. Season 3 is more of a deep dive into the various relationships of the characters with some drama along the way. I’m learning to enjoy it from a different lense, and excited to see where the next two seasons go.

This show is absolutely amazing!! If you’re looking for guns blazing right out of the gate then this isn’t the show for you. This is a backstory kind of show, but make no mistake, Andor isn’t lacking in the action at all! The writers have done an excellent job at showing how a regular person can get pulled into a cause much larger than themself. Andor gradually and realistically builds the story and gives you plenty on action, drama and all the sci-fi of Star Wars. If you have a hankering for great storytelling, a deeper, more expanded view of the Star Wars universe, then Andor is the show for you!!!
